    What Do You Think?

    I agree people shouldn't have just singled out the woman. The men in the situation acted just as poorly as the woman. Whatever happened to chivalry for the men's part?And why don't we expect it anymore? I am glad to hear that your three year old was fine and there was no harm.

    Let's Be Workout Freaks Together

    Good job Sazza! I am still loving my new workout DVDs. I am still a little bit sore from them but they are fun and make the workouts fly by. On my days off from work I am going to add in some biking on my stationary bike.

    Do You Go To A Certain Place When Dissociating?

    Thanks for the responses. I am glad I am not the only one not going any where while dissociating and have no control over it. @Stuff-- I never told my T that I was dissociating either. He picked up at it and then I denied it for a while because it scared me.

    Poll Do You Have Secrets About Your Trauma That You've Not Divulged To Your Therapist?

    I said yes, but I have only been in therapy for two and a half months. Two sessions ago I can in with a time line of the trauma that lasted for 6 years and put most stuff on there and gave it to my T. I felt like I nearly had a heart attack handing it over but knew it needed to be done. I left...

    Do You Go To A Certain Place When Dissociating?

    Do you go to a certain place in your head when you dissociate? When I dissociate during my sessions my T is always asking where I went or do I picture a certain place. I don't. I either feel like I am floating, numbing of limbs, or it is blank and I don't picture or see anything. My T says a...

    @Sazza--When I first started exercising I had to force myself too. I never looked forward to it. It took a little bit till I actually enjoyed and realized how much better I felt with it. Now, I try to fit it in whenever possible,

    I haven't felt anything really in months. Not even any type of joy. It is so strange.

    Thanks for the responses everyone and I love making the list of three positives for every negative. I will do that. I did finally get a response via email today! I have an appointment early next week with the T and he said in the email that he didn't have any openings during this past week...

    I called him again today and left another message. Still have not heard anything. I am trying to stay positive and telling myself he has a life too. @Nighthawlk-- yeah that is sort of what is going through my mind. Also, I am wondering if it is a game or a way of testing you. I know it is not...

    Let's Be Workout Freaks Together

    @Sazza- I did go out and buy those DVD and the kettleball DVD is intense. It will take me a little bit to get the hand of it but it is different from all her other DVDs. Also, I got her buns and tigh DVD and wow! Another good one and I haven't tried Bob's DVD Ultimate Cardio workout that I got...

    No, they haven't. It has been focusing on my dissociation during sessions. Thanks for the list though.

    We haven't worked really with distress tolerance in therapy unless that means finding distraction, which I am good at for the most part. But to keep myself busy I do a lot of exercise each day, keeping a daily (hourly at times) journal, work outside the home at my job, and work inside the home...

    Thanks Anthony. I know I keep reminding myself that the T is a person as well, and I do know he has a bit going on. I just never realized how much I relied on the appointments and how much it does help going. I am going to call once a day until I hear back.

    Thanks angelkeeper. There is no receptionist. He does share his office space with another T but the practices are separated. I know the T is not on vacation because he bought up at the last session that I would have an appointment this week. I am going to call back tomorrow and hopefully I will...

    So, I want people's opinion on this situation. I have only been in therapy for two and a half months with biweekly sessions. Normally at the end of the session the T will schedule the next appointment. At the last session the T didn't do this because I was starting a new job and was unsure of...

    I haven't heard of them. I will look them up on youtube. I love watching CharlieJamie1975 on youtube. Her body is amazing and she puts in a lot of hard work, and her workouts are killer. I know she does have a couple of kettleball works that I will do. She makes me want to go out and get a...

    Let's Be Workout Freaks Together

    I really want to get some new exercise DVDs. A kettleball one. I am have my eye on the Jillian Michaels one and a Bob Harper workout DVD. Those two are my favorites when it comes to making exercise DVDs. So, my plan is to run out and get the DVDs, a 15lb kettleball and to do one of the DVDs.

    Arguing As A Trigger?

    I think arguing could be a trigger. I work at a retail store as a cashier and I have had customers yell at me for no reason or they just annoyed for small things. When things like that happen I get dizzy and numb out.
